🧈 Recipe: Real Roots Hollandaise Sauce

Can also be made without the oyster for a 'regular' hollandaise sauce. 

Fat-rich, mineral-boosting sauce with butter or ghee

🧾 Ingredients (for approx. 2-3 servings)

• 100 g grass-fed butter or ghee

• 2 egg yolks (organic, fresh)

• 1 to 2 capsules Real Roots Oyster 30
  (contents – open capsule) 

• Pinch Celtic sea salt

• 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed) (only add in step 3!)

👨🍳 Preparation method

🔸 1. Melt the butter or ghee

• Do this gently over low heat – do not let it bubble or brown.

• Then let it cool down to hand warm (around 50–55 °C).

🔸 2. Whisk the egg yolks until airy

• In a heatproof bowl (e.g., stainless steel), whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and salt until the mixture lightens slightly in color.

🔸 3. Heat au bain-marie

• Place the bowl over a pan of gently boiling water (the bowl must not touch the water).

• Keep whisking constantly until the mixture starts to thicken.

🔸 4. Slowly add the melted butter or ghee

• Pour the warm fat very slowly in while whisking. First drop by drop, then in a thin stream.

• The sauce becomes creamy and thickened if you whisk patiently.

🔸 5. Add the oyster extract

• Once the sauce has thickened, remove the bowl from the heat.

• Add the contents of 1 to 2 oyster capsules and stir well.

• Taste and add some lemon or salt if needed.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Dairy-free? Use ghee instead of butter.

• Extra creaminess: Add a small splash of raw cream (if well tolerated).

• Do not overheat – keep the heat low, otherwise the egg will coagulate too quickly.

• Prefer blender style? Blend everything except fat, then slowly pour warm butter/ghee in while blending.
